It's worth noting that, for obvious reasons, SAM won't work with games without Steamworks achievements, so you'll need to idle in, say, The Secret World.

That's good to know. It also means I'll never idle in those games or get badges.

You should feel proud, my friend. But most of all you should put that card out right now! Half the price, maximum.

No! No that's not how that works jesus christ.

You're supposed to list your price, but undercut the other guy for a penny. This way someone sees your card is the cheapest price, and you still get a cut because someone will be willing to pay the price for the card.

But no instead everyone just goes "bluh, put it up for 20 cents great idea. how come i'm barely making any money??"

oh? half? okay i just put it for 3c less

 

[MMBosstones86]

Just know that you'll have to take your time to set it up properly. If you want, I can post my own button layout, though I'm sure there are better layouts out there.

Yeah I was looking through the OT and will try and get it setup when I get home from work. Tried to start it up this morning, but it crashed after getting through the setup wizard. verified the cache and will try later.

After a quick look it seems like you can input the appID in the box, and it'll let you idle that way.

 

[jediyoshi]

How are some of you this lucky? I have only gotten one foil.

I've gone through >140 card drops so far, so it's still relatively low

 

[Da DreadLord]

So I've been downloading things for no reason then? v_v

 

[derExperte]

You've been able to idle with SAM since the card beta :|

And you tell us this now? But I probably would have downloaded most games anyway with intention of actually playing.

Payday: The Heist now has cards.

 

[Freezard]

But no instead everyone just goes "bluh, put it up for 20 cents great idea. how come i'm barely making any money??"

So you mean 6€ for a card is bad? I guess if you constantly babysit and undercut the card for an hour or two you might get some more, if you're lucky and the right buyer shows up. But yeah... the average value for a foil is less than 2€.

Payday: The Heist now has cards.

Sweet.

Ah, you're right. I'd assumed that was for Steamworks games the program hadn't picked up, haha.

Looks like summer foils are going down in value? The Bioshock foil has went from 2.60€ to 2€.

I'm not worried yet. The prices are still higher than they were a couple of days ago and it's only logical they'll bounce around as the more impatient people list their spares sooner and keep supply in the few-hundreds. It won't bother me if I have to wait six months for meaningful price increases -- just as long as I make a profit of some sort.

Retro City Rampage has 8 damn cards. Does more cards = more time to idle?

 

[Freezard]

Retro City Rampage has 8 damn cards. Does more cards = more time to idle?

Yes. But how long for each card depends on the game.

Also ModBot is broken. Tried to do a giveaway but nothing.

 

[JaseC]

Yes. Each drop gives you one card.

 

[Kandrick]

So many games getting cards now, oh god.

Did anyone else get a booster pack today? Just got a HL2 one.

I haven't received a booster pack in weeks.

I received one yesterday: Triple Town

 

[Fireblend]

Just a reminder, Teleglitch is coming out tomorrow.

Early adopters will get the soundtrack and eight weapons/utilities.

A recent Northernlion Let's Play

Ah, I had liked this when I saw it in one of TotalBiscuit's videos. Might grab it soon-ish.

Damn musta lucked out, my third booster pack!

Also, I'm really glad i bought all my impulse buys from the summer sale as a gift in inventory. Most of them i realize i am never going to touch so just reselling for profit >.<.

 

[bobnowhere]

I got my third a couple of days ago, Alan Wake. Gave me an excuse to craft the badge.

 

[cammy84]

I've never received a booster pack. I'm only eligible on 3 games though which probably doesn't help

How long until the whole card market crashes? Once every game has cards I'm pretty sure their prices will crash.

Not until enough people see no value in crafting badges and getting emoticons/backgrounds/discounts.

 

[Freezard]

I think you can only get a booster every other week. At least for me, I've gotten a booster around Monday-Tuesday for the past two every other weeks, so I guess this week is a booster week as well.

 

[chronomac]

I just discovered that DLC Quest, Beat Hazard and Bit.Trip Runner all have cards now. Awesome.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, you're not guaranteed a booster pack whenever Valve releases them into the wild, but some people have been luckier than others.

Defense Grid got cards? Durn it, and here I didn't pick up the expansion because I didn't see myself playing it in a while.

edit: Anyone know of a complete and frequently updating list of games with cards?

 

[XShagrath]

I received my second booster pack earlier this week. It was for Faerie Solitaire. My first one was FTL. Still haven't seen a foil card.

 

[Isomac]

Anyone heard about this Citadels game? Looks kinda cool from the making of videos. Reminds me a bit about Age of Empires / Stronghold games. Greenmangaming says it needs Steam account and release date is July 26th. I think I'll wait for impressions and reviews before trying it myself.

Is Beat Hazard the first game where badges unlock stuff in-game?

http://www.coldbeamgames.com/3/post/2013/07/gold-dragons-steam-trading-cards.html

That level 5 foil badge reward. Wow.

 

[JaseC]

http://ianharmon.com/share/gaming/steam-card-prices/

Steam Card Exchange is the better alternative as you can also view the badges and bonus items (profile backgrounds and the like). (Steam itself also has a card filter, but Valve can be a little slow in updating the tags.)

yes those have their advantages, but can you also see the prices, and directly access the market for the game you want?

 

[Fuu]

Wait a second, for Beat Hazard the rewards are for a level 5 normal badge and for a level 1 foil badge, right? Level 5 foil badge sounds insane.

You can't level foil badges.

There is no lvl5 foil badge, only lvl1.

 

[Leon Belmont]

yeah i'm liking sonic racing a lot more than i thought i would, looking forward to unlocking all the racers and trying out the online

Yup and something that I notice is that it's harder than the first one, once I unlock all the racers I'll trying it out online too!

Total cost to craft all badges: ~$7,769.17

That's insane amount of money

 

[JaseC]

Having a direct link to the market is nice (and something SCE should have), but listing the prices isn't particularly useful if the page is only being updated once every 10+ hours.

 

[toastyToast]

Is Rogue Legacy all about collecting money? I've made it to a few different areas and they were hard as shit and the boss (a big eye thing) completely obliterated me

I've unlocked the Shinobi and got the air dash and double jump. Doing a bit better now but I'm still not getting very far.

This is normal right?

 

[More_Badass]

Is King Arthur's Gold singeplayer or multiplayer?

32 player multi.

The game does support bots, though, so there's that.

Feels like it already has.

Most of the new games added has cards worth like 8-10 cents. :/

Why is the price of the Cherry Tree High Cards so high?


I just sold one for about 1,30€, then another one for 1,86€. I actually wanted to craft a badge of it.

 

[Uiki]

Ah, I had liked this when I saw it in one of TotalBiscuit's videos. Might grab it soon-ish.

I think I will grab this too. Tonight I will finally be able to sell my 130+ cards, so space bucks for teleglitch seems a good deal to me.

Does anyone know if they added some sort of controller support?

Game's only gone on sale twice including summer sale. Makes me wish I picked it up, those profile backwards are kawaii~~
